Interface IProfile
Defines a cross-section's shape, size and orientation.
See Glossary
Namespace: Oasys.Profiles
Assembly: AdSec_API_IDL.dll
Syntax
public interface IProfileRemarks
IProfile is a base class for other profiles with specific shapes, e.g. ICircleProfile and IRectangleProfile.
Examples
using Oasys.AdSec;
using Oasys.Profiles;
using Oasys.AdSec.Materials;
using Oasys.AdSec.StandardMaterials;
using OasysUnits;// Create a rectangular profile with a depth of 800mm
// and a width of 500mm.
Length depth = Length.FromMillimeters(800);
Length width = Length.FromMillimeters(500);
IRectangleProfile profile = IRectangleProfile.Create(depth, width);
// Set the profile rotation to 30 degrees.
profile.Rotation = Angle.FromDegrees(30);
// Create a concrete section with the created profile.
IConcrete material = Concrete.IS456.Edition_2000.M20;
ISection section = ISection.Create(profile, material);Example creating a section with a rotated profile.
Properties
IsReflectedY
Reflects the profile over the y-axis in the local coordinate system.
Declaration
bool IsReflectedY { get; set; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.Boolean |
IsReflectedZ
Reflects the profile over the z-axis in the local coordinate system.
Declaration
